That is interesting. I made a shortlist of a couple of suitable 40" 100 Hz, now I think I will go back and look at the 50 Hz instead. Sigh. Probably will be a Samsung or a Sony. The wireless network DLNA looked nice ... :nerd:

Sonys wired DLNA works well, and it has the cool X Bar interface which I like.
This one I think has DLNA. It is the previous model, but the current equivalent model doesn't appear to have it
I am not a samsung lover, as everything I have purchased made by samsung as had some sort of fault, including a faulty LCD monitor. I prefer sony for TVs.

862118 2010-03-22 10:39:00 I chose my LG purely because of three things: Inputs, size and the most important, picture.
I heard plasma was too harsh on the power bill...
I had to get a specific size so that was real important, but I wanted the pc connection (RGB i think its called?) and sharpness, although that was what I like, I notice picture wise peeps have their own taste

LG gets a good rating by consumer in this months mag.
So does the older version Sony, they didn't however review the current version.Don't LG and philips use the same panels and factory as I think they are owned by the same company.
